AIBU to think this guy is truly a complete and utter narcissitic twit?

He has the nerve to steal stories from mumsnet and then describes us all as "foul mouthed, illiterate harridans"

Grrr.

He's a nasty little man who ruined another persons career. Truly ghastly.

IvorHughJarrs · 17/11/2016 12:39

I quite like his show and think his comments about Mumsnet are a bit tongue-in-cheek plus he knows he gets a reaction when he does it

He probably had an erection when he said it too. This has to be the funniest comment I've read regarding it

BeyondTheHarpy · 17/11/2016 12:41

If he did come on for a webchat, we wouldn't be allowed to tell him he's a misogynistic prick though. Have to play nice with the guests.

Was it this willow?

"If a mentally impaired shrieker like Susan Boyle can be a celebrity, I guess anyone can."

why not he's said people are worse and got away with it, surely freedom of speech should be two way?

Willow2016 · 17/11/2016 12:44

dexra

no it wasnt it was just MW speaking about something that was current to do with Susan as she had just got famous.

I cant remember the exact words but it was making a joke about her mental abilities in relation to the news article.

Meh

If mumsnetters weren't watching his show they would know what he was saying about them.

Daytime telly is for low voltage people. Watch a good box set or movie instead.

RockyBird · 17/11/2016 12:46

wouldn't

Wookiecookies · 17/11/2016 12:47

Right... Ok rocky thanks for your insightful contribution

Hmm

It was along those lines but it was something he said on his show, not just 'attributed to him' as I emailed the show about it (course they just made a joke about it not being offensive ut said in fun type thing).

I might try and find the email if its still on my account after all these years!

Nanny0gg · 17/11/2016 12:51

I imagine a harridan having a mile wide bottom encased in a sensible tweed skirt. She probably has a matronly bosom too. And of course, a facial expression that could peel paint off the walls.
I like her.

TooTooCarMoon · 17/11/2016 12:52

rocky I never watch the twunt. However, having been forced to endure his inane 'banter' for the duration of my six year relationship with my ex (who is a fan and goes some way to explaining why he's my ex) I am horribly familiar with his name.

ChangingNamesAgain · 17/11/2016 12:52

I don't watch it. I do read about it though : (

Since having children with autism I have a sense of humour failure when he moans about children who don't sit perfectly still and silently in public.

Unlike pp I actually wish him and his wife could concieve, but I wish he had children like mine to force him to rethink his bigotry, judgement and hatred. Then apologise publicly for it. And fucking learn something.

But I am a miserable cunt, and way oversensitive to his bs.

Dawndonnaagain · 17/11/2016 12:52

I'm an extraordinarily literate harridan.
I'd describe him as a cunt, but he has neither depth nor warmth.

AuntDotsie · 17/11/2016 12:54

surely freedom of speech should be two way?

Freedom of speech means the government can't lock you up for saying something. Not that smug fucknuggets can't be criticised for being utterly cunty about someone.

FoulMouthedIlliterateHarridan · 17/11/2016 12:54

Fuck Off Matt you CockWomble Grin

Tomorrowillbeachicken · 17/11/2016 12:55

I watch very little telly and tbh a lot of the reason for that is because I avoid reality tv, game shows and people like him.

FairNotFair · 17/11/2016 12:55

Actually, DawnDonna, an anagram of Matthew Wright is "warmth we tight".

So that's nice. Grin
